It's intended to work that way. It also consumes a % of your total unity production by design.

Really? But how could a player know this from the game? It's not obvious at all!
Nevertheless thank you!

They can't... I would have also thought the same if I hadn't seen another topic about this a long time back where a dev said it was designed that way.

Might be a relic from when most edicts had cost influence. Edicts didn't have upkeep and simply lasted 10 years at which point you'd have to relaunch it.

We have "Damn the Consequences" edict, that requires unity to maintain, we also have the edicts fund for such edicts, that require unity to maintain. So why doesn't this particular edict use the edicts fund? This is not logical at all and is not explained in any way in the game itself!
